Dieter Rams and his friends (Dietrich Lubs and Ludwig Littman) designed many great looking alarm clocks. Fatih Arslan has looking for one for a long time. He writes:
Because I have many books about Braun (the company) and Dieter Rams… I have been looking for an original DN 40 for a long time.
I had a muse at that moment, and finally came up with an idea to solve some of my issues. I decided to combine all my objects (tray + charger + clock) into a single one.
Fatih designed the 3D model below to provide a tray area behind and a dock for a phone in the front.
I’m still astonished by what you can do with CAD software and a 3D printer at home. Even though I’m a software engineer, it allows me to experiment with other arts and skills in my spare time.
You can read more in the post here and the model is here.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
